SNMP::...scoASA(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

SNMP::Info::Layer3::CiscoASA — it's the subclass for Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance, bestie. That's your ASA, and SNMP::Info is out here holding its hand. 🫶

✨ AUTHOR ✨

Moe Kraus wrote this one. Iconic of them, honestly. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the vibe — you let SNMP::Info itself figure out which subclass is the correct one, instead of guessing like a clown:

# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
my $asa = new SNMP::Info(
                       AutoSpecify => 1,
                       Debug       => 1,
                       # These arguments are passed directly to SNMP::Session
                       DestHost    => 'myswitch',
                       Community   => 'public',
                       Version     => 2
                       )
   or die "Can't connect to DestHost.\n";

my $class      = $asa->class();
print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass: $class\n";

and then you just... print the class and let the library be the main character. 💅

Required MIBs of the Inherited Classes

⭐ GLOBALS ⭐

These are methods that return a scalar value from SNMP. Casual. Scalar. Unbothered. ✨

• $asa->b_mac() — returns the base mac. This overrides the base mac function in SNMP::Info::Layer3.
• $asa->i_description() — overrides the base interface description function in SNMP::Info, so instead of handing you back "Adaptive Security Appliance '$configured interface name' interface", it returns the configured interface name. glow up, honestly. 💅
• $asa->parse_inetaddress() — overrides the base IPv6 method "parse_inetaddress" in SNMP::Info::IPv6 because Cisco ASA is out here not conforming to RFC4001 4.1 — it's missing the number of octets. instead it's indexed like the CISCO-IETF-IP-MIB. not me expecting compliance 😭
